AI & Tech Daily with Jesse Owen

Oracle and OpenAI plan to connect business applications through ChatGPT, while US Oracle customers gain a purchasing route now. IBM releases agent identity controls, and SAP expands Joule workflows as Bosch tests reliability and costs. Google opens cloud access to robotics reasoning, Meta tests AMD Helios racks, and EU governments set their negotiating position on data rules. GitLab patches a critical server flaw. In What Changes for You, Baidu's downloadable OCR model offers builders more control over long-document processing.

Australia's latest cyber threat report puts legacy systems and planned downtime at the centre of resilience. Oracle proposes database-enforced agent controls, llm-d adds shared-serving safeguards, and Dagger sharpens test feedback for coding agents. Also: proposed US technology-investment rules, Anthropic's IPO filing, OpenAI's research collaborations, and what GPT-6.1 Terra changes for subscribers and developers.

Microsoft's step-by-step diagnostic AI moves towards evaluation with patients. Cisco tests complete security investigations, Block demonstrates speech-trained Dessa, and Claude gains an Anthropic-managed route through Google Cloud. NVIDIA reserves manufacturing capacity, a new forest map distinguishes types of tree cover, and Sweden's Government Offices change staff access to public chatbots. Plus, Ollama brings local speech generation to Apple Silicon Macs.

A new investigation into an AI cybertesting incident shows why controls on an agent's actions matter more than its assurances. Also: OpenAI's offline frontier training, machine-checked proofs across selected paths in 123 libraries, Britain's AI defence funding, approved agent sign-ins through 1Password, a shared AMD–Intel CPU optimisation path, and Australia's sanctions on fraudulent IT-worker networks. In What Changes for You, SageMaker opens custom model training loops without GPU management.
